As reported by WebProNews, twenty-three-year-old law student Sam Rabinowitz attended the event and had this to say, “Though the talk was delivered in a lecture hall, this was never going to be a structured, conventional talk. Instead, what followed was a self-described ‘stream of consciousness.’ We were warned by Kanye not to make a sound, or else he might be distracted.”

Reportedly, West refused to allow photos of him to be taken and organizers instructed the crowd that if they took photos of him, he might walk out.

On the subject of art, West told the students that if he were an artist, he would be the best. West is quoted as stating, “My goal, if I was going to do art, fine art, would have been to become Picasso or greater. That always sounds so funny to people, comparing yourself to someone who has done so much, and that’s a mentality that suppresses humanity.”

West also commented on the future further stating, “We have the resources as a civilization to make a utopia, but we’re led by the most greedy and the least noble.”
